Skimmer question (See Pic)

I inherited this skimmer...I think its a pretty good one. I'm assuming it goes into the sump. For background info, I just added R/O saltwater to my 75 gal. I have a trickle wet/dry filter (20 gal sump tank below 75 gal tank). I am planning on getting some live sand today.
Questions are:
How do I use it, connect a pump (what size gph etc.)?
Once it is running, how do I know it is working and what sort of upkeep is required.
Thanks, any input is greatly appreciated.
